How Does Botox® Work?
Botox is a type of neurotoxin or neuromodulator that temporarily paralyzes the muscles around the injection site. When injected near the outer area of the eyes, Botox® relaxes and softens crow’s feet by blocking nerve signals to the injected muscles. This will result in fewer contractions which helps reduce these fine lines and wrinkles that can contribute to an aged appearance.
What Can I Expect After Botox® Injections?
At Longwood Eye and LASIK Center, our experienced doctors are skilled experts at administering Botox® injections quickly and precisely for optimal results. With proper technique, you can expect a noticeable improvement in your crow’s feet after treatment with minimal discomfort. Results typically last up to several months before needing another session to maintain the desired changes.
What Other Ways Can Botox® Be Used for the Enhancement of the Face?
In addition to treating the lines around the eyes, Botox® is also great for dynamic wrinkles, such as the glabellar lines that can form between the eyebrows or the lines across the forehead. Our team can talk to you about your desires to determine where injections should be placed to achieve the results you want.
Is Botox® Permanent?
Botox® is not permanent, as it can reduce in efficiency months after injection. To maintain results and slow the process of aging, Botox injections will need to be performed regularly at our practice.
